Riding on horses and in carriages

The Moscow State Integrated Museum-Reserve offers exciting programmes to the visitors of Kolomenskoye that include riding on horses, on troika’s (three horses harnessed abreast), as well as in one-horse carriages.

There used to be horse yards in the residence of the Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich in the XVII-th century, and later on, in the villages of Kolomenskoye and Diakovo (XVIII-th century).

The present-day exposition of “Horse Yard” permits to trace the origin and the history of horse-breeding in old Russia, and get an idea about the practice of breeding horses of different strain. Now ponies and horses of different breeds (Orlovsky, Trakehners, Russian trotters, and cart-horses) are kept at the Museum’s stable.
